DSI RGB Moon

[peter_4059]

Here's my first attempt at a colour moon with the DSI. It is a stack of 100 subs of 0.001 secs each for each channel. While I'm happy with the shot I was hoping for a bit more colour? Any tips?

Hi Peter
Cool pic of the moon.
However, if its colour you looking for, ask NASA to take a couple of cans of DULUX Weatherglow on the next lunar mission and they can paint it for you:lol::lol:.Seriously, if you want colour shots use the false colour tools in your image processing software:thumbsup:

Howdy, not too bad a shot! I think you could have lengthened the exposures by a fraction or two, and I always do the moon in L only for the DSI 2 Pro or mono if using the Meade LPI. I also have a colour DSI 1, but have not tried with that one, but probably would use mono also as that is what the moon looks like to me when I see it by eye or in a scope.:)

Thanks for the comments. I'd normally not bother with colour on the moon but I was hoping to be able to push the colour saturation up to bring out some colour differences. I haven't found the false colour options in PS yet.

Hi Peter
Give Dennis Dazzled by the Cosmos a pm.He produced a stunning false colour image of the moon a few weeks ago.:thumbsup:

Hi Peter,

I was able to get a good colour image of the Moon using the Hue and Saturation controls in the "Final" stage of Registax.

Take care,
Doug
